the difference between israel and iran is that israel is a democracy that has elections like we do in the united states. whereas iran and syria are police states, fascist states, where the people have no say whatsoever. the struggle to prevent iran from having nuclear weapons is a struggle of concern for many countries in the middle east and out of the middle east. that is something that we have concerns with. again, syria, in my estimation, has been essentially a client of iran, a puppet state of iran. we know that iran's interests and the interest of our country are very different. that is why the united states, obama administration coordination with our eyes and nato are working hard -- with our allies in nato, are working hard on sanctions. host: next call for el comestative aeng from farouq in ohio. caller: good morning, mr. eng el. my brother is -- good morning. host: you know what, turn off your tv appeared simply go ahead and talk. caller: good morning, mr. engel, thank you very much. host: i am not going to hang up, i am going to put you on hold. they will get bolick -- back
